The white paper link compilation of the Information Quality Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog by Marcus P. Zillman, M.S., A.M.H.A. has just been updated and is now a freely available 16 page .pdf document (179KB) listing the latest and greatest online resources and sites for quality information resources!

As of late, there has been a great deal of talk about the ways in which better data can improve public health problems such as obesity, rising health care costs, and other areas of concern. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is intimately concerned with the possible applications of “big data”, and this site offers some fine commentary and reporting on this situation. A good place to start is the Q&A with RWJF Chief Technology and Information Officer Steve Downs. “Better Data = Better Health: Stories from the Field” looks at the applications of mobile health applications, GPS sensors in the service of tracking asthma symptoms, and much more. The footer of the site includes sections analyzing how data is transforming the overall health of communities. There are data sets, reports, rankings and access to publicly available reports that include information on the quality of care delivery, patient outcomes, and patient feedback on physicians, hospitals, and cost. This will be added to Healthcare Resources Subject Tracer™. From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout 1994-2012. http://scout.wisc.edu/

A team management system that understands needs of managers, developers, QA and release persons. Offering unique tools to each of them to do their jobs faster, efficient and with satisfaction. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Professor Robert Schenk of Saint Joseph’s College in Indiana has created this fantastic digital economics textbook for those with an interest in the so-called “dismal science”. In the introduction, Professor Schenk notes that the work is “an easy-to-read approach to economics with a variety of interactive problems and questions.” The site includes a table of contents, complete with chapters such as “What is Economics?” and “Actions and Results.” The site also includes helpful materials that cover the logic of choice, measuring the economy, and financial markets. Visitors can also look over the “Extra Features” section to view additional video clips and the “Whimsy” section, which includes humorous asides on gas prices and grading policies.
